Giova More about the Returned value:
the type 'Script' returned by this command, is in fact a kind of 'Thread Handle'.
GOOD POINT:
sqf functions launched with execVM will run asynchronously from its caller script/function.
It is possible to manage multi-threading development, by using:
-handle script returned by execVM
-force the thread to terminate by using 'terminate' command
-synchronise a script by using 'ScriptDone' command
BAD POINT:
-sqf funcion cannot return value (because execVM is already returning the thread Handle)
-the variable _time does not work in sqf called with execVM command

the script is also searched for in \addons
what on earth is a 'global scripts folder' ????????
- It's the path defined by 'scriptsPath' root level property in the default config.cpp. eg. scriptsPath="vbs2\data\scripts\"; I think isn't it... -- Sy 02:34, 29 September 2011 (CEST)
- ah yes, in fact, it's a LOT more complicated than that. it also involves context (which file invoked the script) see desc.ext - Mikero (nee Ook?) 08:31, 2 November 2011 (CET)
Script is compiled every time you use this command.
